"Happy?" 

"I am the furthest thing from happy when I'm in a room with you."

~~~~~~

At the start of the 2022 Formula One season, defending World Champion, Max Verstappen, is ready to fight once again for the title. At the first sign of weakness, nineteen other drivers stand ready to pounce and seize victory for themselves. For Max, with his place in racing history on the line, failure is not an option. 

Since the introduction of the hit reality Netflix show, Drive to Survive, the drivers have had to perform on the world's largest stage, with millions of critical eyes watching on. This year, to ensure the continuation of record-breaking ratings, Netflix have struck a deal with each Formula 1 team. A dedicated buddy is to be assigned to each driver with the aim of securing exclusive behind-the-scenes content. 

As someone with a PR problem and an anti-media reputation, Max is informed by the Red Bull senior management that this arrangement is absolutely mandatory. 

The one positive?

He gets to choose the buddy.

"In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night Just call my name, I'm yours to tame" _______________________________________________ "Come with me, mon amour" Charles says in my ear and let his lip brush against my earlobe. "Non" I reply. "Cherie" Charles says to persuade me to go with him and I chuckle. "Keep begging" I say and I didn't have to pretend to be turned on. His hands slide down from my hip to my thigh. "S'il vous plaît, Cherie" Charles whispers smoothly in my ear. (18+ Mature content) (All rights reserved) (Pure fan fiction) (Started: 26/12-22) (Finished: 30/01-2023)
Little Lion Man | Max Verstappen by tonysnarky
35 parts Ongoing
❝They call him the Dutch Lion.❞ ❝Yeah? To be honest, I think he's more like Scar from The Lion King, but whatever.❞ In the high-pressure world of Formula 1, Red Bull Racing is crumbling. Half the team has quit, morale is at an all-time low, and Max Verstappen-the reigning champion-is battling not just a losing season but a mountain of frustration, anger, and self-hatred. Known for his icy demeanor and explosive temper, Max feels more isolated than ever, unwilling to accept the changes around him. The last thing he wants is a new Personal Assistant. Enter Emilia "Emmy" Jones, a vibrant redhead who seems to radiate sunshine wherever she goes. She's everything Max despises in this moment of chaos-optimistic, talkative, and insufferably cheerful. To Max, she's a storm he didn't see coming, and no amount of biting sarcasm or coldness can drive her away. Emmy is determined to do her job, even if it means braving the tempest that is Max Verstappen. What Max doesn't realize is that Emmy isn't just some cheerful distraction. Beneath her bright smiles and playful energy, she's hiding her own storm. She's not the unshakable beam of positivity he assumes-she's a force of nature battling scars of her own. And while Max can't stand her constant happiness at first, it doesn't take long for him to see that Emmy isn't just sunshine. She's a hurricane-wild, fierce, and unpredictable. And she might just be what Red Bull, and Max, need to survive. Because sometimes, it's the storms that reshape everything.

The Drive to survive set was always crowded and noisy, but this year Charles just couldn't stand it. After Max Verstappen, his nemesis, had won the championship last year, he had been counting the days to his next "Drive to survive" interview because he knew It was going to be the most awkward ten minute piece about Max. What he didn't know is that they would have been filming both their interviews at once, on the same set, and have them right in front of one another. This, Charles didn't expect.

The fact that Max Verstappen is getting more and more hate from the Formula 1 community isn't a problem, right? And his mental health steadily declining isn't his own issue, right? And the way his dad had been abusing him his whole life isn't that big of a deal either, right? Max thinks so at least. Christian Horner not so much. In an attempt to cool down the negative press Max and through extension RedBull has been receiving, Horner hires a journalist to travel from race to race with them and write articles about it. They should be honest and focus mostly around his star driver. The issue about this whole idea? Max hates the press with a burning passion. Especially when he's supposed to be the main focus. Hell bent on chasing away this journalist his team principal hired, Max goes into the 2024 season. But what he didn't expect was Lucy Forrester, fresh college graduate and newly acquired sunshine of the RedBull team... - Hey guys! This is technically a sequel to »Sex Scandal« the Charles Leclerc fanfiction. So it would be beneficial to have read that one first, but I'll try to write this as independently as I can and explain things you missed if u didn't read it! As always, english isn't my first language so please be patient with me :)
